Bacalao guisado or Puerto Rican salted codfish along with vianda or root vegetables is a staple dish in Puerto Rico. It is typically served with white rice<\/strong><\/a>, avocado, and hard boiled eggs on the side. It’s packed with tons of flavor and is easy to put together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other countries in the world have their own variation of this dish. It is quite popular during Lent when Christians abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Read on to learn more about this delicious Puerto Rican dish and how to make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is salted codfish raw or cooked?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the fish has been salted and preserved it is already cooked. But because it is so heavily salted, it must be soaked in water to desalt the fish and be able to consume it. Otherwise it is inedible. To remove the excess salt, some people soak the fish in water overnight while others boil the fish in water for an hour or longer. I prefer the soaking method over the boiling method and I will share why later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
